A Quick Computer Update

Hello! Unfortunately, my computer unexpectedly crashed the other day. I thought it wasn't a big deal, but it appears that it is actually unfixable. The other electronics I have aren't compatible with my camera, so what does this mean for Rockin' the Rockies Style? Well, first I'm going to try to use my mom's computer, but to be honest I rather expected her computer to crash before mine. If that doesn't work, then this blog will just be on a temporary hiatus while I search for a new laptop which can handle my blogging capabilities (and school work, of course). So, for the mean time, please follow me on social media.  I have instagram linked, but just in case just search "rockintherockiesstyle". I'm also on pinterest, just search "Elizabeth Claire." Hopefully I'll be back to blogging soon; I  have three looks on my camera ready to be loaded onto a computer. If you have any questions just shoot. Can't wait to get a laptop and come back to blogging!!

Not Very Spirited

Wearing:

Co-ord - Target, Sneakers - Nike, Socks - River Island, Necklace - Forever 21, Bracelet - Forever 21

Lipstick - Chanel Rouge Allure in Extatique

This week in school has been homecoming spirit week.  I tried to be spirited, I really did.  As it is my last year in high school I decided I would actually try to be spirited on the dress up days.  On animal print day I wore my leopard print ankle boots and my black faux-fur vest, on tropical day I wore a floral-y shirt, on Disney day I actually went all out and dressed up as Cruella de Ville (I even carried around a plush dalmatian all day).  Today, however, I did the best I could do.  Every year my school does class color day; the freshman wear green, the sophmores wear blue, the juniors wear orange, and the seniors wear pink.  Every year the seniors go crazy.  Pink tutus, pink tights, crazy pink accessories (and both guys and girls wear these).  Well, I really don't own much pink.  I have that pastel pink coat from H&M, but it was almost 90 degrees today so that was out.  All that I had left was my pink Chanel lipstick and my Nikes with some pink on it.  Well, to try to make the pink pop as much as possible, I went with just black for the rest of the look. 

I've had both of these pieces of this co-ord forever, but today was the first time that I've actually worn them together.  After adding some fun, ruffly socks, my look looked rather bare.  So at the last minute I added a silver bracelet and necklace, which I feel was the missing touch.  

Tomorrow is the last day of spirit week, which means it's school color day.  Luckily for me, my school's colors are my two favorite colors, so I will definitely be dressing the part.

White on White

Wearing:

Vest - Target, Blouse - Primark, Jeans - Charlotte Russe, Boots - Steve Madden

I'm sure you read the title and are now looking at my outfit thinking, "but there's red, and leopard print!"  But I do think this title fits the look because of the white vest layered onto the white blouse.  This past season, white has been a major trend.  As much as I, myself, love this trend, I have come to realize that I actually own very little white.  I would love to be able to get a white midi skirt and some white shoes (preferably white ankle boots because I love ankle boots), then create an entire white outfit.  However, since this is all of the white I have right now, I decided to put what I have together.  After layering the vest and the blouse together, I felt I needed a pop of color.  Since autumn is upon us, I felt that my deep red, almost burgundy, jeans would look great against the white.  Finally I decided on my leopard print ankle boots because leopard is a neutral, right?  

Here Comes the Rain on Picture Day

Wearing:

Dress - Primark, Boots - Matty's (DSW)

Lipstick - Chanel Rouge Allure in Extatique

Picture day already?  And how am I already three weeks into the new school year?  It seems like just last week I was wandering the streets of Paris.

I don't have a huge post today, just a quick ootd.  Since it was picture day at my school, I wanted to wear something with a nice neckline, so I decided on this Primark dress that I bought in France.  For shoes I thought that these buckle boots, a new favorite of mine, worked well with the dress.  Finally, since picture day is just a glorified head shot, I personally felt that lipstick was a must.  Last year for picture day I wore red lipstick, so this year I opted for my bright pink Chanel lipstick.  (I even felt that my picture turned out rather nicely for the ridiculously awkward pose they make everyone do.) 

It's Getting Cold Already

Wearing:

Jumper - Primark, Jeans - Topshop, Boot - Kenneth Cole Reaction

Lipstick - Bite Beauty Matte Lipstick in Aubergine

Though it's only September, it is already starting to get cold where I live.  Not just cold, no no, it snowed the other day.  I repeat, it snowed.  Ok, so by noon the snow had already melted away, but it's more of the point that it snowed in September.  Sadly, this is not uncommon.  In fact, many people got excited about the snow.  Perhaps if I wasn't the one person in my entire town who doesn't ski, I, too, might have been excited.  But, no.  When it snows, while most of the town goes skiing, I go and hide away in my room.

The only bright side about it getting so chilly is that I can finally break out my new jumpers!  While I was in France, I went a bit crazy and bought something like six jumpers, so it's nice to finally be able to wear them.  This white jumper that I'm wearing I loved so much I bought a second in black.  But for this look I wanted the strong contrast between the black jeans and the white jumper.  Then added my deep purple lipstick which popped against the white.  This jumper is so amazingly soft; everyone wanted to touch and feel it when I wore it.  Finally I put on my biker boots, which I felt solidly completed the look.
